In his next film, One Hour Photo, he plays a technician in a photo lab who becomes obsessed with a suburban family after he develops their pictures. He follows that with the thriller Insomniac, in which he plays a murderer, and the dark comedy Death to Smoochie where he is a vengeful children's show host. "It's been good to play those characters," he tells USA Today. "I wasn't being offered these things before and all of a sudden, you get a chance to try them. It's great."
